CHAPTER 11

BELLA POV

My next lesson was Art. No surprise when I walked into the classroom and lo and behold, another Cullen was in the room. This time is was the Cullen that goes by the name of Alice. I bet you can't guess where the only available seat left was. Nobody? Well let me enlighten you. It was next to me. Well isn't this just a fine day. Silently I took my usual seat and pulled out my equipment. I didn't feel like talking so I didn't bother to acknowledge her.

But of course I should've known there was no way in hell that I was going to sit a full hour in silence with Alice sitting right next to me.

"Hi. My name is Alice, Alice Cullen. It's a pleasure to meet you. I just know we're going to be the best of friends."

'Hmm', I thought. Isn't this what she told the so-called 'Isabella Swan' back in Forks? I'm starting to believe that Alice here might be a two-faced Vampire. I was thinking 'bitch', but that's a bit harsh don't you think? After she spoke, my response was "Arabella Salvatore". I had intended to stop talking after that, but once again, this is Alice we're talking about. From previous experience, I know she never shuts up.

"Oh that's a beautiful name. It reminds me of a girl called Isabella Swan who I know back in Forks. I can tell you now that I'm a nice person. But I really could not stand her. I only pretended to be her friend because she had dated my brother, Edward, at the time. She was just so clingy, and now that I think about it, she was ugly too!"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Now I really can say that Alice was a two-faced bitch. Well that's okay, because I never really liked her either, she was such a selfish ass. I had always preferred Rosalie and her 'Ice Queen' façade much more. At least she showed her true feelings and her opinions of people. I always respected her for that.

"You know, you're really pretty. You have a great fashion sense too. I like you bestie." She continued. "I know. Why don't you sit with my family and I at lunch time?!"

"Sure." I agreed. At least now I could get more juicy details on her and her family.

The bell that just rang informed me it was now time for lunch. Before I could even stand up and pack my stuff away, the annoying pixie was dragging me out my seat and to the door.

"Come on, come on. Hurry up! Move it you snail. Do you want to meet my family or not?"

Wow she was so pushy. I can't believe there was ever a chance of me liking her. Even if it was just a smidge.

When Alice pushed open the cafeteria doors everyone turned their heads. They were probably wondering what I was doing with one of the new kids. They must've thought that I was just sticking with them to gain popularity. But we all know the Cullen's can never be popular. That's just the way things are. Alice pulled me to the table where her family were going to sit. I had no doubt that was going to be their table for the rest of the year.

"We need to wait for everyone else, but don't worry they'll be here soon". So we waited...and waited...and waited...

"Ah, here they come. Hurry up guys. Let me introduce you." She waved them over. "Okay this is Arabella Salvatore. She's my best friend." 'Ugh, as if!' I thought.

"So you're the sister of the Salvatore brother. I have Mr. Damon Salvatore as my History teacher, and Stefan is in a few of my classes." I bet you can't guess who said that. That's right. None other than Edward Cullen. Gosh he is such a bore.

"Yes yes Edward." Said Alice, "Now please allow me to finish talking. So Ara..." Gosh I hate it when people shorten my name. "This is my adopted brother and sister, Emmett and Rosalie. They're dating. Then there's Jasper." Hmm, why did she single him out? "And finally we have Edward, we're dating. Don't worry though, he's my adoptive brother too." So that's why! Gosh I hate them both so much more now. How could they do that to poor, sweet Jasper?! It's not his fault that he tried to kill 'Isabella' on her 18th birthday now was it? All of the Cullen's had been pushing their emotions onto Jasper, the empath, who at the time had to deal with the bloodlust of everyone else. I never hated Jasper. Nor Emmett and Rosalie. So far those three Cullens are on the safe side.

"Ara." Alice interrupted my thoughts. "Why don't you come over to our house tonight. Then you can meet our parents! Ooh and then we can have a sleepover. No guys allowed!"

Well what harm can they do? "Sure, why not."
